Hello. I have 2 more months of my nutrition to send my paperwork to insurance. I am a mess. I want to buy stuff for the surgery and after but say if I get denied I would be heartbroken.

Last week I had to call my surgeon and tell them that they had my wrong height by an inch so I had to go into the office and get rechecked then I called my primary doctor because they had it wrong and I had to go in there and get rechecked and sure enough they all had me taller by an inch so that changed my BMI but now that they corrected it my BMI is above 35 and I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol but say if the insurance company denies me because of that. I am a nervous wreck.

I I don’t have the money to pay out of pocket so I need for insurance to cover this.

That's a pretty low BMI. I didn't realize high cholesterol was a comorbidity factor. I have that too. Good luck!

If they didn’t change my height my BMI would be 35.8. But since they corrected my height my BMI is 36.8. My doctor said that the high cholesterol could be used on top of the high blood pressure plus I’m getting tested for sleep apnea.

And you are not SHRINKING from Surgery, it's that things settle down before your operation,LOL, they kept shortening ME and I did'nt feel a thing! Once upon a TIme Frustr8 was one puffy Hairstyle under 6 Feet Tall, a fine yet. Obese specimen of. WomanFlesh. Now I did expect to be A LITTLE SHORTER, after All , Years and Menopause may have taken a Toll, but 5 Foot 8 Inches, I felt Robbed! And I had struggled and struggled to lose some Pre- Surgical Weight so they,Would See,how Sincere I was! Now your Re-rmeasure is going to benefit you enough to make Insurance pay for Your Surgery but it Made Me feel like A Big Fat Slob! And This Magic with their Measuring Tape and Scales gave me a BMI of 51.6, that's OMG LADY, HOW CAN YOU STILL STAND UP AND WALK?-hood. I would have gotten down and Crawled Out of there on my Hands and Knees- except for the fact,i have had 2 artificial knees implanted , they don't bend too good anymore and I Feared it might take a ForkLift to get me back up! But it all worked Out, I went forward, got my Surgery in a little over 3 months, why So Short?I had completed Another Bariatric Program not Once but Twice and then after skimming off as much money as they could as well as Co-Pays because the insurance I had then demanded I chip in. And then Their Surgeon, who honestly didn't,care That Much for, got Professional Cold Feet and REFUSED to give me my Surgery. The Good Thing about that tangled Mess? I got to keep All That Credit,for all the Specialties I had visited, rather like Credit for Time Served in a Legal Court when they are jailing YOU! So all I had to do was 1more Psychological a piece of ? Cake, meet with their Dietician, an Exercise Physiologist, the Head Nurse- Practioner, then the Surgeon, he did his personal PreSurgical exam, got fitted and promised to faithfully,use my CPap, because I knew already I had Sleep Apnea, the Heredity Kind (Thanks Daddy!) And then on SEPTEMBER 5,2018 I hot,my RNY and was on my way to a Better Life# And God Bless Medicare, by this time I was older and Retired and they gave me No Hoops to,Jump Through, everybody agreed THIS IS GOING TO MAKE FRUSTR8 A HEALTHIER PERSON AGAI, HEY IT MIGHT JUST,SAVE HER LIFE! And it did, and,more I am 116 pounds lighter and, although I had so bumps, hills and curves in my Personal Weight Loss Journey, like the Old Song Said ; Everything G9nna,Be All-Right!" Yours may have different parts to,it, that's Okay-we are all Different,People, but it will be Just Right for YOU and bottom line, That is What We All Want!
So God Bless, dont,let Worry take the Joy out of Your Days and I'm always lurking around here somewhere if you Want to Talk.??

And P,S, My BMI is now 31.1, never thought I would be able to Say That, I am about ready to write "1" in front of my weight, leaving the 200s behind forever, an 18 after starting a 28-30 woman size, my goal for me is 175 pounds and a size15 junior, underneath all flab and floppy fat I have a natural TomBoy build, World is going to be able to see the Real Frustr8 I have been hiding, oh I'll never going to look as good as I would had I not packed on the weight, but I plan to Rock the Senior World, some Silver Fox gentleman don't know I'm coming, but They Will and Frustr8 is going to be the finest 73 year old I can be! So Cowboy!Up Honey, "sweetcheeks" is on Her Way!

Thank you ❤️
